Friday: We who believe in the Lord Jesus need never be ashamed, for he alone is able to guard until that day what we have entrusted to him. Saturday: Let us follow the pattern of the sound words that the apostles have taught us, and guard the good deposit entrusted to us by the indwelling Spirit’s help. Pray without Ceasing – Flash Prayer for the Day Through the working of our triune God, we have been chosen, forgiven, and empowered to live for the Kingdom of God. For Your Weekly Journey Weekly Reflection on the Priesthood of All Believers It is reasonable to hypothesize that the identity standard for ambassador and the identity standard for priest represent different dimensions of a single identity standard – like two sides of the same coin. As ambassadors, we represent God (the Sender) to the people (the Receivers), while as priests we represent the people (the Senders) to God (the Receiver). Yet, in reality, the Hebrew priests of the Old Testament not only represented God on behalf of the Jewish people, they also represented the Jewish people on behalf of God.
